Samsung Galaxy S8+ prototype unit features dual-camera lens setup

Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 and S8+ feature a single-lens 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual-pixel technology, just like the Galaxy S7. The South Korean company will use two suppliers for the camera: Sony and Samsung.

Before Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 would come with a single-lens camera, there were rumors claiming the handset maker plans to add a dual-camera setup on its flagship. Those stories were quickly followed by reports that dismissed this possibility.
Well, it looks like Samsung did take into consideration a Galaxy S8 with dual-camera setup, but decided otherwise in the end. A prototype Galaxy S8+ unit with dual cameras on the back has just popped up in China, which partially confirms the initial rumors.
Judging by what the prototype unit looks like (hint: ugly), it's quite understandable why Samsung dropped the idea of adding a dual-lens camera on the Galaxy S8/S8+.
